How The Trigeminal Nerve Could Supercharge Your Practice

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

For this week’s episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I’m throwing it back to episode 28, The Power of the Trigeminal Nerve. This is legitimately one of my favorite episodes, which yes, I know I say that a lot, but what I talk about in this clip can be tremendously helpful for your practice if you don’t know this information. In this episode, I talk about how the trigeminal nerve is more than just a sensory nerve to portions of the face and innervates the masseter, but also its role in the parasympathetic nervous system. I break down the anatomy of the trigeminal nerve and relate that to cranial and spinal nerves, headaches, and nervous system tension throughout the body. I truly believe that this information could truly improve the outcomes that you get with your patients.
